4.0 out of 5 stars A ripping yarn, 19 Oct 2007
This review is from: The First to Land (Paperback)
An action-packed tale that is, as far as I can tell, historically accurate in most respects. Not the author's best book, but very good.

3.0 out of 5 stars A classic Reeman book, 30 Mar 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: The First to Land (Paperback)
An action packed book, describing a fight against the odds. Inclusion of heroics and an impossible romance add to a great reading experience.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, 26 May 2008
By ChinaDoc (Shanghai) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The First to Land (Paperback)
The First to Land is in my opinion one of the best novels dealing with small scale combat in one of Britain's 'little wars'. The characters are well developed, the story is interesting, the romance is just right and the battles are exciting and believable. The story follows on well from the equally excellent Badge of Glory. I just wish it was a longer tale.
